According to the latest report of the authoritative German media "Bild-Zeitung", Atlético Madrid Football Club has taken a keen interest in Borussia Dortmund's center forward player Niklas Fellkrug, and intends to take him under its wing. The news has sparked a lot of interest in the soccer world, especially considering Felkrug's outstanding performances in recent years and his price tag as a German international.
Reports indicate that Atletico Madrid have been keeping a close eye on Phil Kruger's movements and have spoken highly of his performance on the pitch. It is said that Atletico's senior management has already discussed the transfer of Phil Kruger internally and put forward a preliminary transfer fee proposal, which includes a fixed fee of 30 million euros as well as a series of floating bonuses related to the player's performance. This offer shows Atletico's determination and sincerity to sign Phil Kruger.
Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone has been particularly interested in Felkrug. As an experienced coach, Simeone understands the importance of a good center forward for his team's offense. Fellkrug had an outstanding performance in last season's Champions League and this summer's Europa League, impressing Simeone with his excellent finishing ability and keen sense of vision in front of the goal. Simeone believes that the addition of Fel Kruger will greatly enhance Atletico's attacking firepower and provide a strong guarantee for the team to achieve good results in all competitions in the new season.
Atletico originally intended to introduce another center forward player - Dovbic from Girona. However, due to Girona's asking price of up to 40 million euros, Atletico had to reconsider their reinforcement plan. It is in this situation that Phil Kruger, with his outstanding performance on the field and relatively reasonable transfer fee price, suddenly jumped to the top of the list of Atletico's striker reinforcement.
For Phil Kruger himself, his future is currently open. Although his contract with Borussia Dortmund has not yet expired, the Yellow and Blacks will have to reconsider the deal if Atletico Madrid or another team is able to make an offer that is significantly higher than the 17 million euro transfer fee that Dortmund paid to Werder Bremen last summer. Joining a team as strong and ambitious as Atletico Madrid would certainly be an attractive option for Felkrug.
